What can I expect during the fitting of my first set of Invisalign® aligners?

After your custom treatment plan is designed, you will receive your first set of aligners. Your dentist or orthodontist will ensure that they fit properly and provide instructions on how to wear and care for them. It's essential to follow these guidelines diligently to ensure the success of your treatment. Typically, you'll wear each set of aligners for about two weeks before progressing to the next set in the series.

Will wearing Invisalign® aligners be painful or uncomfortable?

While Invisalign® aligners may cause some initial discomfort or pressure as your teeth begin to shift, this is usually mild and temporary. Most patients find Invisalign® treatment to be more comfortable than traditional braces. Your aligners are custom-made to fit your teeth comfortably, and any discomfort typically subsides within a few days as you adjust to wearing them.

How long does it take to see results with Invisalign® aligners?

The timeline for Invisalign® results varies depending on your specific treatment plan and the complexity of your case. On average, many patients start noticing visible improvements within a few months. However, the total treatment duration can range from several months to a few years, depending on individual needs and goals. Consistency in wearing your aligners as instructed and attending regular check-ups with your dental professional can help ensure the most efficient and effective results.

For many people, getting their first set of aligners is an exciting time. It can be a bit overwhelming, too. There's a lot to learn about how to care for your aligners and how to make sure they work properly. But don't worry! At Signature Smiles, we're here to help you through the Invisalign® process.

What Is Invisalign®?

Invisalign® is a system of aligners made out of clear plastic that are custom-made for your teeth. They gradually move your teeth into the correct position over time. Most people wear Invisalign® for about 12 months, but treatment times can vary depending on your individual case.

What Should I Know About Invisalign®?

Here are a few things you should know about getting your first set of aligners:

What Is the Treatment Process Like?

The first step in the treatment process is to schedule a consultation with your orthodontist. During the consultation, they will examine your teeth and discuss your treatment options with you. If you decide to move forward with Invisalign® impressions of your teeth will be taken and sent to the Invisalign® lab.

Once your aligners are ready, you'll come back to the office to have them fitted. You'll be given a treatment plan outlining how many aligners you'll need and approximately how long treatment will take.

Every two weeks, you'll move on to a new set of aligners. As you progress through treatment, your teeth will gradually shift into their correct positions. Every six weeks, you'll come in for a check-up so your orthodontist can monitor your progress.
